Our representation of Halo's iconic space combat in the Homeworld 2 engine, which puts the player in command of some of the most powerful weapons fielded by the UNSC and Covenant and to provide a balanced and competitive experience.

Extract the Contents of the mod to C:\Program Files\sierra\Homeworld2\Data or equivalent.

Make a copy of the Homeworld 2 shortcut on your desktop, right click the shortcut and select properties. Now you will see a target line (it's the top one).

At the end of the target line you need to put a space, then type -mod homefront.big. Now your target line should look similar to this: "C:\Program Files\sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe" -mod homefront.big

What NOT to do:

Do not put -Overridebigfile and the mod extension in the same target path, the mod will not work!

Do not use an outdated mod target path! Make sure you know what version of the mod you're using and edit it accordingly (-mod 'currentversion'.big).

Disclaimer:
This is not the final version of this mod.

Addendum:
It helps us if people report problems (only report if it has not been posted more than a few times), especially on our forums as we are more likely to get back to you sooner. Our forums are here: Sinsoftheprophets.com

Excuse me, can anyone tell me how to install it? I follow the tutorial but the program still keep original version and can't run this mod. My game version is 1.1 and I also put the file into data folder, of course I change the target line. Please help me to run this mod, thanks.

Download 7zip and with it instead of extracting the files just open the .rar file then copy the .big file into your downloads or pictures, from there open up the homeworld 2 data folder in a different window then drag and drop the .big file into the HW2 data folder. The just put in the -mod HHFRC107.big into the tag line and it should work.

These issues have been addressed. However, in our mod, corvettes are supposed to be light fast attack units for early harassment. They are supposed to be fast and agile. Though in a 1 on 1 fight between a frigate and a Tigershark, the frigate will obviously win. The Hammerheads are nearly useless unless you're using them as anti-fighter/missile.

i've been having launch troubles, i've installed the mod as per the above instructions, but when i launch the program, it cuts out before the Relic Entertainment logo animation, can someone tell me what i;ve been doing wrong?

Hello. I am having issues getting the mod to load. I have other mods working properly so the HW2 install is ok and the file path method works. I don't see any other mod I'm using utilizing the "-Overridebigfile" command line. I am a bit confused by this.
Also, the -mod HFF109B.big in the command line doesn't load the mod either. Could you update the install instructions or release a launcher in the next release. This seems to be a common problem for users that want to support your mod!

I just want to leave this here: "a recent driver update for ATI (14.9) is causing the following issue for it’s users:
Homeworld2.exe caused an Access Violation in module atioglxx.dll"
It also makes it so the game crash instantly once you start it up.

So, this fixed it for me. if your a ATI user. drop it in here: bin\release

im having a problem. No matter what difficulty the covenant are on, they collect resourced and do nothing else. whenever i scout their base, they always have a REALLY LONG line of mobile refinery. Any idea why this is?
